Hello,<br><br>I made a mockup on how to improve image usability: <a href="http://drupal.org/node/52718">http://drupal.org/node/52718</a><br><br><br>Konstantin<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2006/3/5, Jeremy Epstein <
<a href="mailto:jazepstein@gmail.com">jazepstein@gmail.com</a>>:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">In my experience, the image and img_assist modules together provide
<br>all the image functionality that most Drupal sites need. When you<br>install these two modules side-by-side, you get basic gallery<br>functionality, options to auto-resize images to different sizes, and<br>excellent inline image uploading and inserting.
<br><br>img_assist is currently not ready for 4.7, however this is being<br>worked on (<a href="http://drupal.org/node/40297">http://drupal.org/node/40297</a>). I submitted the latest patch<br>to upgrade it to 4.7, and I am successfully running the module on a
<br>4.7 site at the moment (with my patch). The reason the patch hasn't<br>been committed is that the module's maintainer is rewriting it, mainly<br>with usability and cosmetic improvements, and pretty much the same<br>features.
<br><br>Once img_assist is ready for 4.7, I see no reason for you to complain.<br><br>Jaza.<br><br>PS: Bčr, I'm sure the inline module is a great solution too, but I<br>haven't tried it, and img_assist works for me. I've always thought of
<br>img_assist as the 'standard' inline imaging tool for Drupal, and<br>newbies NEED standard tools!<br><br>On 3/2/06, Drupalista <<a href="mailto:drupal@web.de">drupal@web.de</a>> wrote:<br>> Hi,<br>><br>> I am testiung drupal extensively. great ideas, really, you made a fine
